Filtering Plasma From Whole Blood With Negligible Hemolysis Using Nano Membrane Technology
Background Hemolysis is the leading cause of unusable laboratory blood samples; accounting for approximately 55% of all unusable samples [1]. Hemolysis can affect lab results by interfering with light absorption of spectroscopic tests, or by releasing analytes into the plasma sample resulting in a false reading [2]. The syringe used to draw blood from a…
